- 5. theory is a scientific theory which describes the properties of cells
- 6. the things that make organisms what they are
- 8. a space or vesicle within the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosed by a membrane and typically containing fluid
- 10. solution that has a lower osmotic pressure than another solution
- 12. he readily stainable substance of a cell nucleus, consisting of DNA, RNA, and various proteins, that forms chromosomes during cell division
- 13. the cell substance between the cell membrane and the nucleus, containing the cytosol, organelles, cytoskeleton, and various particles
- 15. a small dense spherical structure in the nucleus of a cell during interphase
- 17. a small set of microtubules arranged in a specific way. There are nine groups of microtubules
- 19. the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism, typically microscopic and consisting of cytoplasm and a nucleus enclosed in a membrane. Microscopic organisms typically consist of a single cell, which is either eukaryotic or prokaryotic.

- 2. a membrane-bound compartment inside chloroplasts and cyanobacteria
- 3. a higher concentration of solutes outside the cell than inside the cell
- 4. any of various specific protein molecules in surface membranes of cells and organelles to which complementary molecules, as hormones, neurotransmitters, antigens, or antibodies, may become bound
- 7. any of a number of organized or specialized structures within a living cell
- 9. an organelle in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells containing degradative enzymes enclosed in a membrane
- 11. the movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration
- 14. the movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane from higher water concentration to a lower water concentration
- 16. a small organelle within a cell, consisting of fluid enclosed by a lipid bilayer membrane
- 17. wall a rigid layer of polysaccharides lying outside the plasma membrane of the cells of plants, fungi, and bacteria. In the algae and higher plants, it consists mainly of cellulose
